I visited the Easytiger warehouse to pick up a Grumman Panther I ordered, which is nice, going to be for a P20, it's small, and I saw the demo model for their new Cougar, and I ordered one on the spot. They say they will be shipping later this month. I wanted to buy the demo model on the spot and take it home, he would not sell it. In my experience, sometimes things get delayed with ETM, but they have always come through for me before. He did say it might be delayed a few weeks, but they are in production now. For $895, to me, it's a steal. The wingspan is 64 inches. I picked it up, it was very light, but it did not have a turbine in it, but EDF.
I picked up the new Golden Tiger fan for it too. It's like jewelry, beautiful and light. I did not get the motor and ESC yet, I may go turbine with the Cougar or I may go EDF, I have never done a big EDF before, but the video sounds great and performs great. Curtis said he will be flying it again out at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn soon, I hope to see it fly in person and try to take a video, but here is the video on Youtube:

My pictures are from a cel phone, sorry if they are not great.
Every time I have ever posted anything nice about Easytiger Models, I get bashed by some people, oh well so be it. But I am a happy customer, and I have had nothing but good service and great planes from him, and I think he is one of the funniest and most knowledgeable modellers I have ever met, so I will give props to Curtis, please talk about the airplane and don't bash if you can.
Also here is a picture of his demo model of the Panther, not mine. I also tried to buy the built demo model, but no luck! I paid $269 cash for my Panther kit, it is very nice up close, mine will be with a P20 turbine. According to them, some people have bought it for turbine use, but as far as they know, none have been flown for turbine yet, but it has only been out a month. There looked to be many hundreds of them in the warehouse. I am not starting mine just yet, I would rather wait for the Cougar and do that first, but I did order up some mini digital servos from JR, and a set of Eflight retracts for it.
